Happy weekend, everyone! I picked up Mr Guylty yesterday afternoon. He had a really long, good night’s sleep, and it is great to have him back home. Phew. Once again thank you for your kind wishes. If you ask me, they have made a difference! There’s more to this Earth than just what we can…
Happy Easter everybody. The second Easter in lockdown. Who would’ve thought that, this time last year? It’s been tough, but now there is somehow a silver lining (which is quite fitting for the day that is in it – which all of you who believe, no doubt are feeling particularly strongly). And as someone who…
Good morning, world. I do not want to miss another round-up this week. But before I launch into it, I just wanted to say a huge big thank you for your wonderful responses and messages re. my husband. I have felt the power of positive thoughts before and once again I feel that the blow…
Such an exciting day today! Guess what? I have just sent my first ever online grocery shopping order. 😂 Yes, in Covid times, even the most mundane of tasks can become extraordinary. But well, with Covid numbers still worryingly high here, and now also the virus in our house, I’ve decided to minimise risks and…
Candle on, cup of tea beside me, it’s time for theeeeeeeeeeee… No question, Mr Thornton for me. And it’s all down to the man who played him. Post by scalpelgal I still haven’t watched UV, partly because all I need are the gorgeous Astrov gifs made by riepu10 No Armitage in these pictures, but I just…
Today you are going to get a bumper edition of the weekly round-up. That’s due to missing last weekend’s round-up – the fundraiser had me in its grip, so I completely forgot about it. However, that may possibly mean that today’s edition is particularly full. Let’s see what I have found… I snorted out loud…
Today I did a bit of an Astrov. I donated two trees to a reforestation project. The reason: The huge ash tree in our garden, as well as another large ash tree in the yard of our mews, had to be felled. Both trees had the ash tree disease which is currently killing all ash…
Richard really has been throwing himself into campaigning for theatre lately. Well, with Covid wreaking havoc in an industry that relies on live events that are held in indoor spaces where social distancing is simply impossible, campaigning on behalf of the performing arts is badly needed and also very much welcome by those who enjoy…
Good morning, let’s start the new week with the results of the raffle for the two RAPS minis from the Thornton’s Pearls series. First of all, thank you for all your lovely comments. I went through them all again for the purpose of compiling the list of names to input into Randompicker. I was delighted…
Looks as if today is Creative Day in the Fandom: This morning I saw a post by Rachel about her beautiful RAPS-inspired wooden box of wonders that she created as a present for fellow fan Laura. And I just commented on Kate’s post – which is fittingly entitled “An Embarrassment of Rich(i)es” – where she…
